In 2003 I decided it was time for a new career that was more driven towards working with people on a one on one basis. Leaving my job at that time was very stressful but I knew if I would work at Real Estate as hard as I worked at everything else in my life I would be successful.
Since I started selling Real Estate I have become a 20+ million dollar producer yearly in both listing and selling homes in the Berks and surrounding counties. I work in all fields of Real Estate including New Construction, Residential Resales, Farms, Lots and Subdivision of land.
In 2004 I received my Senior Real Estate Specialist designation to help customers 50 and older to invest money, buy income properties, or sell their home for retirement purposes.

The reason I feel customers choose me is I look at your buying or selling needs and take them very personally as if it were my own Real Estate transaction. I will walk you through the entire process giving you the least amount of stress related to buying or selling Real Estate. I also have an entire team I work with including: Mortgages, Title Insurance, Homeowners Insurance, Home Inspectors and Settlement Services. I look forward to meeting you and showing you the "Reinert" difference in your next Real Estate transaction.

I am a Berks County "transplant", currently living in Rockland Township. I was born in California, and moved to PA in the late 1960's. where I lived in Northampton County. I first discovered Kutztown and the wonderful surrounding countryside when I attended Kutztown University. I graduated in 1984 with a degree in Business Management and received my real estate license in 1987.

Over the past 20+ years I have been involved in many different areas of the real estate field. I have been active as an agent, achieving recognition for both listing and selling achievements. I have also gained experience in new construction through my work with a local general contractor and I have worked in the appraisal field, which has provided me with valuable information to help my clients to list their home for the best price to sell in today's complicated real estate market.

Today, I am excited to have joined John Monaghan Group of Kutztown Realtors and to become more actively involved in the local real estate market. My diverse real estate and business background provide the EXPERIENCE today's buyers and sellers need. I look forward to helping you with your next real estate sale or purchase.
